Structural Isolation and Mitigation Technology under Multi-Dimensional Earthquake Excitations

Abstract:

Researches on structural isolation and mitigation under multi-dimensional earthquake excitations are overviewed in terms of the analysis methods, devices and developing trend. The analysis methods for dynamic responses of building structures, long-span reticulated structures and bridges under multi-dimensional earthquake excitations, are systemically introduced. Several types of multi-dimensional earthquake isolation and mitigation devices are presented, and experimental results of a new type of device are discussed, it shows that the new device has good ability of multi-dimensional earthquake isolation and mitigation. Finally, suggestions for further study in this area are presented.
